Bugatti Veyron lovers will be thrilled to learn that the famous F1 driver that we love so much; yep you guess it right because we ARE talking about Jenson Button, has decided to put up his Bugatti dream for sale. Just so you know the present leader of the drive’s championship is the second owner of this 2008 monotone black stunner from the famous carmaker’s workshop.

The car comes with an 8-litre W16 engine and four turbochargers. The price is pretty high at $1.5 million. Well, it sure is justifiable just thinking of the man who would have driven this roadster before you took on the wheel.

And this Veyron isn’t the only car in Button’s garage that needs a special mention. He has a great collection of several high performance cars like a Merc CLK DTM AMG, an Audi RS6 Avant, a Ferrari Enzo, a BMW M5 and a Merc C63 AMG. And apart from these, the celebrity racer is known to have own a Ferrari F430 Spider, a Ferrari 550 Maranello, a Ferrari 360, a Ford GT and a Porsche Carrera GT.

The love of Ferrari will make you desire this new timepiece called the Lap Time Chronograph. Part of a limited edition, this one has been especially designed to meet the needs of the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One Team. Across a 44mm PVD-coated stainless steel case, you can see anadigit movement made by Isaswiss. This one tells you three different time zones as well as the timing laps round the race track. Of course, the ususal stuff like calendar and alarm functions too are there.

Then there is the tacho meter and the split times, not to forget the gorgeous electric red of Ferrari that we can’t ever get enough of. The watch strap is designed to remind you of a racing tire with the famous Ferrari logo horse prancing around. We are told that the Ferrari Lap Time Chronograph will be available for sale from August at an affordable $350.

We thought we’d give you a peek in the list of the Lap Time Chronograph features, other than the ones mentioned above, of course - main analog display, timer, full chronometer 1/100 sec, non-reflective mineral crystal, solid waterproof case and water resistace to 5ATM.

There is a reason why Formula One is touted as perhaps one of the most expensive sports. Well as an expected consequence, the sport also ends up selling some real expensive merchandise unlike its peers in the field. And if you are an F1 fan, we are quite sure that you’d already be owning one of those amazing F1 Racing books. But there is one more that you can add to your collectibles.

This one is called the Formula One Champions Opus book and is as big as the sport can get, literally. Yes, the book’s surprisingly over-sized as it contains a whole range of photos and articles on F1 racing, thereby making it a must-have for all die-hards of the sport.

We also hear that this one is the largest book ever produced on F1 racing and has also been signed by every living F1 champion. At $40,000 the book’s a real delight. Plus the black and white chess-board cover will make the book sit pretty on your coffee table, but just be careful because you can’t afford to spill any on this one!

There are certain things that never seem to make any sense to me at all. Take for example this weird and funny Factor 001 training bike. It has been designed by BERU f1 systems and it comes with Formula One racing technology which will make sure you are riding the most advanced bike ever.

It comes with made to measure carbon fiber frame and it comes with built in accelerometers which monitor your expensive bike’s speed, torque levels, and also crank cadence. However do not expect such a wondrous instrument for anything lesser than $30,000. The software for this crazily expensive bike will set you back but another $10,000.

I am wondering if you really need to spend so much to ride a bike. There was a time when I got my mechanical normal bike for just $35. It is funny how things change so soon and so quickly! In any case, you could go ahead and buy these weirdly cool bikes if you have the kind of money with you.

There aren’t that many things that can turn grown men into an excited bunch of giggling, drooling boys, but a stupendously designed car can still make them whistle louder than a boiling pot of tea.

Mercedes-Benz, in collaboration with Formula One, has been producing the SLR supercar for a few years now, but with the end of its production due in some time, Mercedes-Benz is going for the big finish. They are celebrating the end of this regime with a special edition SLR Stirling Moss. Named after the Brit driver who won the Mille Miglia in 1955, the SLR Stirling Moss will also be styled after the original 300 SLR that Moss was driving in the race. The Stirling Moss is set to impress with 650hp and powered by its V8 engine it can hit 0-100km in 3.5 seconds flat. With a top speed of 350kmph, the car may be built to disappear in the blink of an eye but you would still cruise by slowly in this baby to show off its sleek and polished curves.

Mercedes-Benz intends to build on 75 of these beauties before the line shuts down permanently, so make haste and cough up the €750,000 you need to buy one of it.
